Resumen del Editor
Who says women don’t go to war? From Vikings and African queens to cross-dressing military doctors and WWII Russian fighter pilots, these are the stories of women for whom battle was not a metaphor.
The woman warrior is always cast as an anomaly - Joan of Arc, not GI Jane. But women, it turns out, have always gone to war. In this fascinating and lively world history, Pamela Toler not only introduces us to women who took up arms, she also shows why they did it and what happened when they stepped out of their traditional female roles to take on other identities.
These are the stories of women who fought because they wanted to, because they had to, or because they could. Among the warriors you’ll meet are:
- Tomyris, ruler of the Massagetae, who killed Cyrus the Great of Persia when he sought to invade her lands
- The West African ruler Amina of Hausa, who led her warriors in a campaign of territorial expansion for more than 30 years
- Boudica, who led the Celtic tribes of Britain into a massive rebellion against the Roman Empire to avenge the rapes of her daughters
- The Trung sisters, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, who led an untrained army of 80,000 troops to drive the Chinese empire out of Vietnam
- The Joshigun, a group of 30 combat-trained Japanese women who fought against the forces of the Meiji emperor in the late 19th century
- Lakshmi Bai, Rani of Jhansi, who was regarded as the “bravest and best” military leader in the 1857 Indian Mutiny against British rule
- Maria Bochkareva, who commanded Russia’s first all-female battalion - the First Women’s Battalion of Death - during WWII
- Buffalo Calf Road Woman, the Cheyenne warrior who knocked General Custer off his horse at the Battle of Little Bighorn
- Juana Azurduy de Padilla, a mestiza warrior who fought in at least 16 major battles against colonizers of Latin America and who is a national hero in Bolivia and Argentina today
- And many more spanning from ancient times through the 20th century
By considering the ways in which their presence has been erased from history, Toler reveals that women have always fought - not in spite of being women but because they are women.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Toler blows past all expectations with this thoroughly delightful, personable, and crucially important history of women warriors.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“Toler seeks out courageous women of history who ‘have been pushed into the shadows, hidden in the footnotes, or half-erased.... A short book admirable for wide research.’” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Entertaining and colorful.” (Publishers Weekly)
“This entertaining and informative history of women warriors briskly covers huge swathes of time and place, arguing for the significance of a phenomenon as old as warfare itself.” (Julia Kastner, librarian, Shelf Awareness)

From a leading expert in Japanese history, this is one of the first full histories of the art and culture of the Samurai warrior. The Samurai emerged as a warrior caste in Medieval Japan and would have a powerful influence on the history and culture of the country from the next 500 years. Clements also looks at the Samurai wars that tore Japan apart in the 17th and 18th centuries and how the caste was finally demolished in the advent of the mechanized world.

Historia
Following Caesar’s assassination and Mark Antony’s defeat of the conspirators who killed Caesar, two powerful men remained in Rome—Antony and Caesar’s chosen heir, young Octavian, the future Augustus. When Antony fell in love with the most powerful woman in the world, Egypt’s ruler Cleopatra, and thwarted Octavian’s ambition to rule the empire, another civil war broke out. In 31 BC one of the largest naval battles in the ancient world took place—more than 600 ships, almost 200,000 men, and one woman—the Battle of Actium.

The Spartans of ancient Greece were a powerful and unique people, radically different from any civilization before or since. A society of warrior-heroes, they were living exemplars of self-sacrifice, community endeavor, and achievement against all odds, qualities that today signify the ultimate in heroism. Scholars even believe that Thomas More had Sparta specifically in mind when he coined the term "Utopia".

Paul Johnson's book is a refreshing return to a concept whose time has come once again: the Great Man theory of biography. It serves as "the greatest possible refutation of those who hold that events are governed by forces, classes, economics, and geography rather than the powerful wills of men and women". Napoleon truly was the Great Man of his age, a towering and terrible genius who managed to conquer the Continent.

In God's Battalions, award-winning author Rodney Stark takes on the long-held view that the Crusades were the first round of European colonialism, conducted for land, loot, and converts by barbarian Christians who victimized the cultivated Muslims. To the contrary, Stark argues that the Crusades were the first military response to unwarranted Muslim terrorist aggression.

Nothing offends liberals more than Western imperialism—it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of Western imperialism is the British Empire, covering at its height a quarter of the globe’s surface and ruling a quarter of the world’s population. Here, best-selling author H. W. Crocker III exposes how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom in history.

Historia
The idea of a powerful woman in the Middle Ages seems like an oxymoron. Females in this time are imagined to be damsels in distress, trapped in a high tower, and waiting for knights to rescue them, all while wearing traffic-cones for a hat. After rescue, their lives improved little. Their career choices were to be either docile queens, housewives, or be burned at the stake for witchcraft. But what if this image of medieval women is a complete fiction? It turns out that it is. Powerful female rulers fill the Middle Ages.

Interesting stories but disjointed writing
I really wanted to like this book because I am writing a book myself about a woman warrior but I found this book so hard to listen to because it didn’t follow things chronologically, skipping from one story to another in vastly different timelines and countries. So confusing. But I really liked the voice of the narrator.

History denied
Women being the lesser sex and not as worthy as men who carry arms for either their country or leaders has resulted in a history that is sparse in facts. Gender bias has led researchers to make assumptions about their archeological finds and make statements with no regard for facts or the issue that there is no supporting data. Two excellent reasons for any woman constrained by social and familial expectations to rebel against the status quo.
Any woman serving in the military today and questioning her choice would be well served by reading this book. Women aren't just victims of the raping and pillaging of war and we aren't just myths. It was refreshing to hear that there have always been Women Warriors.

Didn’t move me
In spite of my interest for the subject this book didn’t move me except in a few parts. Which is a pity because the subject could be explosive. The reader is clear to understand but has a monotone tone and it’s often hard to understand when a new chapter is starting. Not too happy about the overall impression, maybe this book is better on print.

I Just Couldn't
I am very much interested in the subject of the Amazon Women Warriors - however, this book was not a good fit for me. The narrator was terrible. She kept emphasizing words that she thought would help the reader understand the material better and persuade them to the author's point of view. Very distrating- even irritating. It seemed to me that there were slights against anyone or anything that was said, done, or perceived against women. I felt like it was so unbalanced. I just could not finish the book. It was jumbled and went searching for another book on the same topic. I wanted to love or even like this book - but... I returned it.

Good info, terrible structure
The actual information was great but it's very unorganized and hard to follow. It felt more like a stream of consciousness jumping from one topic to the next than an actual book. I had expected each chapter to focus on one woman.
